Abstract: The invention provides a calibration tool for a vehicle monitoring device, the tool having a processor with a clock or access to a time signal and arranged for connection to and to receive and process signals from a vehicle on-board diagnostics unit (OBD), the processor having or connected to means for storing data relating to the vehicle and its engine and codes relating to signals from the available OBD outputs and inputs, the processor being programmed to calculate and store certain coefficients derived over the vehicle's operating range and to populate an array with the said coefficients so that the processor can look up the corresponding co-efficient from the array to calculate the desired value or output. The invention extends to a method of calibrating a calibration tool or a vehicle- monitoring device mounted in a vehicle provided with such a calibration tool. The method comprises the steps of configuring the calibration tool to receive data from vehicle sensors including those indicating vehicle road and engine speed data and temperature data, operating the vehicle, processing the data received during operation of the vehicle to calculate coefficients specific to the vehicle, and populating look-up tables that are accessible to the vehicle monitoring device with the calculated coefficients.

Abstract: A downhole flow device has a sliding and ported sleeves. A seal has a first component on the sliding sleeve and a second component on the ported sleeve. These components engage one another to seal flow through the ports in the ported sleeve. The components move apart to allow fluid flow through the ports.  The components are protected from abrasion and flow by virtue of the seal's structure and how it is opened. The sliding sleeve moves hydraulically along an axis of the ported sleeve to reveal successive ports defined along the sleeve's axis.  Operation of the device and the seal address both erosion and damage from differential pressure problems. Thus, the seal prevents damage when unloading a differential pressure across it, and abrasive flow does not have the opportunity to impinge on the sealing surfaces to cause erosion.
